  4. Switch on dipped beam.
    1. Adjust the dipped beams so that the light/dark boundary touches the horizontal line.
    2. NOTE: It is acceptable for a stray portion of the low beam to cross the 15° line.

      Adjust the headlamps so that the rising line of the boundary line lies at the intersection of horizontal line and the 15 degree line (left-hand drive vehicle shown).
